Re: Why are so many DB creators becoming subject to Toei's wrath?

I'm sure there's a case for video essays to potentially be placed under journalistic expression in the same way reviews are, but that's an argument that I'm not even sure where anyone would begin with. I'm not a big Youtube guy, but I'm absolutely aware that there's a LOT of very successful Youtube...

Re: Japanese vs English names

This is me. This is me down to a T. I would say most users on Kanz are like this (including myself) And apparently telling people that majority of them have been pronouncing names wrong gets you flamed on the r/dbz subreddit and people calling you elitist and snobby. You are quite young so you may ...

Re: Why are so many DB creators becoming subject to Toei's wrath?

For what it's worth, TotallyNotMark has recently stated he's going to be ending his boycott of Toei and has unlisted his response videos about this whole fiasco and will be taking time to think about how he will approach the future of his channel. he may have signalled the white flag to toei, but f...

Re: Why are so many DB creators becoming subject to Toei's wrath?

As much as I sympathise with what is very clearly a stressful time for TotallyNotMark, given how much time he's put into doing what he does, he should have been put in the time to do more research on the risks of going into this kind of venture (doing video essays and collaboration projections base...

Re: Potential fanon explanation for Blue Haired Trunks and why Bulma remembers his hair that way.

It becomes a deal when they don't acknowledge said change, something like: "I dyed my hair blue. Did you guys like?", no. Some flashbacks show Z Trunks with blue hair and others are black and white for some strange reason. They are outright telling their audience that Trunks always had bl...

Re: Why are so many DB creators becoming subject to Toei's wrath?

Geekdom101's video gave some interesting insight in the matter of the circumstances surrounding Totally Not Mark's videos. Over 160 videos can't be taken down if anyone at Toei Japan was serious about their infringing content, because as Mark tells us, it happened within a single day, and just a fe...

Re: Why are so many DB creators becoming subject to Toei's wrath?

On top of that these "influencers" provide at least thousands of dollars in free advertising to whatever they are featuring on their channels. Toei should probably be paying them. Do you also think celebrities should get to drop by Coca Cola and say "I drink a bunch of coke and since...

Re: Why are so many DB creators becoming subject to Toei's wrath?

While you should give the entire thread a read, these "creators" are most likely behaving in ways both Toei and any other Japanese entity considers extremely inappropriate, so they should've probably done their research before gambling their income on making money off other people's copyr...

Having the human Z fighters learn the dance fusion would make them relevant again

iirc. the only downside is that it has compatibility requirements so Piccolo can't use it cuz goku is a human while he's a namekian and chiaotzu since he's the height of a child. for the rest of the Z fighters tho, having all of the human cast like Yamcha, Tien, krillin, roshi [buffed to make his he...

The above tactic obviously doesn't work if you get all of your videos taken down like TNM did, but it's good advice to folks who are currently facing consistent copyright issues with their YouTube careers. Can put you into the crosshairs of more than just one company, but it also means you're less ...

Re: Why are so many DB creators becoming subject to Toei's wrath?

If TNM sold t-shirts with a Goku drawing he did, then that sounds like an ill-advised decision, but in terms of his videos themselves, I see no reason why they deserved to get taken down, especially if Toei was apparently willing to work with him in the past. If people want to argue that it’s wrong...

You are really overthinking it. it's just an overkill artistic liberity with trucks that kinda screws up with the lore. this is not the first time this happens, bulma hair is purple in canon [as anyone who lurks in kanzenshuu can see from the front page] but toei changed her hair blue. so they proba...

for me, it's the tankobon. but the soshuhen which kinda combine both of the tanko and kanzen bans' endings into one is a close second. for those unfamiliar with the soshuhen. https://www.kanzenshuu.com/2017/01/23/final-dragon-ball-digest-edition-manga-release-contains-2004-updated-kanzenban-ending/ ...
